RE: Estate Recovery Incentive Funds

TO:

County Departments of Human Services Directors

County Departments of Social Services Directors

FROM:

Krista Willing Assistant Administrator Division of Medicaid Services

PURPOSE

The purpose of this memo is to communicate information about the addition of incentive funds earned for the Estate Recovery Program for counties within the Consortium under the Income Maintenance (IM) contract between the Department of Health Services (DHS) and Consortia for the period of January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022.

BACKGROUND

In accordance with the Consortia's Income Maintenance contract (Exhibit I Section II.1 Provision of Additional Programs ? Estate Recovery), funds equaling five (5) percent of recoveries/collections will be returned to the Consortium for recoveries made by the Department for the cost of Wisconsin Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus benefits from probated estates, liens and voluntary payments of certain Wisconsin Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus members.

The amount of funds earned is determined by the amount of funds recovered from Wisconsin Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus members to offset Wisconsin Medicaid and BadgerCare Plus benefits as a direct result of information gathered and processed by the Consortium. Amounts earned will be added to the Consortium's funding on a semiannual basis. Funds may be used solely to enhance IM efforts (e.g., gathering real estate information, gathering health insurance information, enhancing other IM Program efforts the Consortium deems necessary).

The allocations shown in Attachment I are the Estate Recovery allocations for October 1, 2021 ? December 31, 2021 and January 1, 2022 ? March 31, 2022.
